February 2014 | Alumni Profiles

This month we talk to alumni who have, by very different and contrasting routes, found their way to successful and fulfilling careers.

We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters.

Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website.
